2010...Going to be a great year!

For New Years this year, we went over to Lagrange to celebrate Rob's 3rd Birthday. When we arrived, we went straight over to Emily, Greg, William and Charlie's house. There, we ate lots of snacks, rode the pony tire swing, ran all around the house and just had a ton of fun! William and Charlie are not my real cousins but they sure seem like it! Charlie is just 4 weeks older than me! George and Matthew had fun as always crawling all over the house. They had free reign to go where they wanted. George loves the hardwood floors because they are easy to slide on! They took turns taking each other's toys and laughing at each other.
Rob got to open his first birthday gift over there and it was a Spiderman t-shirt! His birthday party theme was Spiderman this year since it is his favorite! The next day, we all got up for the the big day. George, Matthew and I thought that we would make some sandwiches for everyone. I told the guys that I was the only one that could use the knife because they were too leetle.I even took some time out to give Uncle Robert some loving. I have really taken to Robert now to the point that when I woke up, he was the first person that I asked for! Mama was shocked! He has decided to grow a beard during hunting season so everyone is hoping that he does not have to ride in a plane anytime soon.
They really went all out for the birthday party. Everything was Spiderman...the table cloth, cups, napkins, treat treats, favors, cake, centerpiece...they even had a video playing where Rob's face was put in as spiderman! It was too cool!
We gave Rob a welding kit to go with his tool cabinet that Nana and Papa gave him for Christmas. Once again, we gave him his favorite gift of all! He had a very happy birthday and I was glad that we were able to come over for it!
When we got home, we decided that it was time for George to start eating big boy food. It was a hard decision for Mama to make because she wants him to stay a baby a little while longer. He Loved his food! He had chicken fries, carrots and fruit! When we tried to give him some baby food afterward, he looked at us like we had lost our minds!
The next day, we got dressed in our Alabama garb and went into the den to play after breakfast. We both had a Nutragrain bar and fruit. It was a huge day for us since it was the National Championship and Alabama was playing against Texas! I thought that I would read George a few books since I am so good at reading these days. I like to pretend that I am the teacher!
George had a different idea though. He wanted to play the tackle game. He is all boy if you did not already know that! Mama says It is all fun and games until some one gets hurt so she made us settle down and sing some songs.
That afternoon, Mimi and Grandpa came and got us for the night so that Mama and Daddy could go watch the game with some friends. I rode my rocking horse and gave George a tutorial on how to ride safely. He was very attentive.
I am such a great cowgirl and really look cute when I dress the part. I can ride all by myself and really am glad that we got such a great gift for Christmas. Hey, so you know when it is Christmas again because I like this present stuff! Mimi let me stay up late to watch some of the game and she got a little sleepy when we snuggled up on the couch. When Alabama would get the ball, I would nudge her and say "Look Mimi, Rooooollll Tide!!"
George played a little football himself and caught up on the local news before bed. His bedtime is before mine since he is just a baby. He got to sleep in the crib this time and I was in the computer room. Alabama won the National Championship that night and everyone was so proud! ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Yesterday, when we were on our way home from school, Mama looked in the back seat and this is what she saw. George and I love each other so much and are just become great friends. While we were holding hands, George was just belly laughing like he only does with me. I could not be a better big sister and he could not be a better little brother. It's times like these that make all of the things that Mama and Daddy do for us worth every minute of it!
